CAUTION: To prevent minor injury or property damage

• Contents washed in Anti-bacterial mode, if

available, may be hot to the touch. Use care

before handling.

• Using a detergent that is

not specifically designed

for dishwashers will

cause the dishwasher

to fill with suds.

• If your dishwasher is connected to a

wall switch, ensure that the switch is

on prior to use.

• On dishwashers with electronic controls,

if you choose to turn the wall switch off

between wash cycles, allow 5–10

seconds after turning the switch on

before touching START/RESET to allow

the control to initialize.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a water heater that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS

IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or

more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by

turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to

run for several minutes. Do this before using any

electrical appliance which is connected to the hot

water system. This simple procedure will allow any

built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or

appliance during this process.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire

or explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with

your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our website at monogram.com.

• Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring

system; or run an equipment-grounding conductor

with the circuit conductors and connect to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the

appliance.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service

representative if you are in doubt whether the

appliance is properly grounded.

• Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping

or packing material properly.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part

of your dishwasher unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualified technician.

• To minimize the possibility of electric shock,

disconnect this appliance from the power supply

before attempting any maintenance.

NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not

disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

We recommend having a qualified technician

service your appliance.

PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

Junked or abandoned dishwashers are

dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a

few days.” If you are getting rid of your old

dishwasher, please follow the instructions below

to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher:

• Take off the door of the washing compartment

or remove the door latch keeper (as shown).

Water

Temperature

The entering water must be at least 120°F (49°C)

and

not more than 150°F (66°C), for effective

cleaning and to prevent dish damage.

Check the water temperature with a candy or

meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet

nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in

a glass and let the water run continuously into the

glass until the temperature stops rising.

Use a

Rinse

Agent

A rinse agent improves dry performance,

reduces spots and prevents new film buildup

on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware

and plastic. Jet-Dry

and Cascade Crystal

Clear

are recommended rinse agents for

Monogram Dishwashers.

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse

agent. Under normal conditions, this will last

approximately one month. Try to keep it full,

but do not overfill.

To fill the rinse agent dispenser, make sure the

dishwasher door is fully open.

Rotate the dispenser cap counterclockwise and

lift it out. Add rinse agent until the indicator

window shows full.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp

cloth. Replace the dispenser cap.

The amount of rinse agent released into the final

wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at

the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard

water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If

there is foaming, use a lower setting.

To adjust the setting, remove the dispenser cap;

then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to

increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise

to decrease the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Interior Lights (on some models)

The interior Xenon lights provide better visibility

for loading and unloading. They turn on when the

door is opened and turn off when the door is

latched. The lights will turn off after 15 minutes

if the door remains unlatched. To turn the lights

back on, latch and open the door.

Do not attempt to replace the bulbs. If light bulb

replacement is necessary, please contact the

GE Answer Center for service by calling

1.800.626.2000.

End-of-Cycle Indicator Light (on some models)

The end-of-cycle indicator light is located on the

right side of the dishwasher, above the handle.

This light comes on when the selected cycle is

complete. The light will stay on until the door is

opened. The dishes may be removed at any time.

Note that the high-efficiency fan will run quietly

for 30 minutes to 4 hours (depending on the

selected cycle) after the end-of-cycle indicator

light is illuminated to continue drying the dishes.

Opening the door and pressing any keypad will

stop the fan.

Use only detergent specifically made for use in

dishwashers. Cascade

, Cascade Complete

and

Electrasol

Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have

been approved for use in all Monogram Dishwashers.

Keep your powdered detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put

detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash

dishes.

All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent.

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether

your water is hard or soft.

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your

water department and asking how hard your water is.

Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water

softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build

up in the water valve, which could stick while open and

cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water

can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware,

called etching.

The detergent cup has indicator lines to help you.

Use the right amount of detergent. As a guide:

For Soft water (water hardness less than 4 Grains Per

Gallon [GPG]), fill cup to the first line.

For Medium soft water (4–8 GPG), fill cup to the second line.

For Medium hard water (8–12 GPG), fill cup.

For Extremely hard water (more than 12 GPG), fill both cups.

If the amount of food soil is high, use a bit more detergent.

If water temperature is greater than 140°F, use a bit less

detergent.

Close cover and be sure it is latched after filling dispenser

with detergent.

Do not use hand dish detergent.

NOTE: Using a detergent

that is not specifically designed

for dishwashers will cause the

dishwasher to fill with suds.

During operation, these suds will

spill out of the dishwasher vents,

covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.

Because so many detergent containers look alike,

store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space

from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the

dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.

While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher,

your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing

detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.

Drying Fan

If the Heated Dry

option is selected,

the drying fan will run

during the drying

portion of the cycle

and up to 2 hours

after the CLEAN light

turns on, depending on the selected wash cycle. If the

Heated Dry option is not used, the CLEAN light will come

on at the end of the final rinse and the fan will run up to

4 hours, depending on the selected wash cycle.

If the Rinse Only wash cycle is selected, the Heated Dry

option is automatically turned off and the drying fan will

run for 4 hours.

If the drying fan is running and the CLEAN light is on, the

drying fan can be turned off by opening the door and

pressing any key on the keypad.

Loading the Racks

Dishwasher

Upper Rack

Features and appearance of racks and

silverware basket may vary from your model.

Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and

saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this

rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit

best along the sides and should be placed open-

end down. This is also a secure place for

dishwasher plastics.

The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed

in the up or down position to add flexibility.

A wine glass holder (on some models) secures

wine glasses for best washability. Because wine

glasses come in various sizes, after loading,

slowly push in the rack to make sure they will

clear the top of the dishwasher.

The upper rack is good for all kinds of

odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls

and other items should be placed face down.

Fold-down tines (on some models) provide

flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.

Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over

2 tines when possible.

Make sure small plastic items are secure so they

can’t fall onto the heater.

Be sure that items do not protrude through the

bottom of the rack and block rotation of the

middle spray arm. This will result in poor wash

performance for items in the upper rack.

Check to make sure that no items in the lower

rack will block rotation of the wash arm mounted

under the upper rack.

Type A

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable

handle to either side (on some models).

Put flatware in the removable basket with fork

and knife handles up to protect your hands.

Place spoons in the basket with handles down.

Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest

together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items,

such as measuring spoons and lids from small

containers should go in the bottom of the

silverware basket with the silverware on top.

This could block the wash arm and cause poor

washing results.

The one-piece silverware basket can be placed

in the front, right side or back of the lower rack.

Type B

A variety of options are available regarding the

three-piece silverware basket (on some models)

in your dishwasher. The complete basket is

designed to fit on the right side of the lower rack.

Additionally, each end of the basket is removable

to add loading flexibility to accommodate

flatware and lower rack capacity needs.

The lids of both end and middle baskets can be

opened and closed to contain small items. Long

items can be placed on the utility shelf in the

upper rack.

The standard position of your adjustable rack

is “up”, which allows for maximum clearance for

your taller items in the lower rack. If you have

taller wine glasses, tumblers or other items to

place in the upper rack, you may want to adjust

the rack to the lower position.

To lower the rack, support the weight of the rack

with your hands as shown, and press both finger

pads about 1/4″ toward the inside of the rack

as indicated, guiding the rack down to its lower

position.

To raise the rack to the “up” position, pull up on

the center of the rack side frame until the rack

locks into place.

Cutlery Tray

The cutlery tray holds up to 4 large knives such as

a carver, chef’s knives, bread knife, etc., that are too

tall to fit in the silverware basket.

Hook the tray onto the rear of the upper rack.

Lay the knives between the guides (as shown).

Bowl Tines

The special large-bowl tines in the lower rack add

flexibility to your loading pattern. They are useful

for serving bowls or other large bowls.

To use the bowl tines, fold down the 2 rows of flex

tines in front of the bowl tines and load bowls just

as you would in the upper rack.

You can remove the upper rack to allow space for

large items in the lower rack.

To remove the upper rack, push thumb tab out and

remove the front end caps on each side of the rail.

Pull the rack straight out and off the rails.

Replace the end caps, then push the rails all the

way back into the dishwasher. Slide the shower

nozzle attachment over the spout.

Then fill the lower rack and begin your cycle.

NOTE: Nozzle must be in place with upper rack

removed. If not installed properly, poor wash

performance and noise will result.

NOTE: Don’t forget to remove the shower nozzle

attachment before you replace the upper rack.

Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and

cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and

baking racks should go along the left-hand side.

Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in

corners or in the back. The soiled side of items

should face the center of the rack, or they can be

placed soil side down. If necessary, oversized

glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack

to maximize loading flexibility.

Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such

as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom

rack. This could block the wash arm and cause poor

washing results.

Fold-down tines (on some models) provide flexibility

for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may

be left in the up position or folded down to customize

the lower rack.

Be sure tall tines in the lower rack do not block the

spray arm above them. Check for this by spinning

the arm when both racks are pushed all the way in.

Care and Cleaning

Dishwasher

Exterior

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior

painted panels, use a good appliance polish wax. See the note below about wax on stainless steel

panels.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with CERAMA BRYTE

Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner

or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. You can order CERAMA BRYTE

Stainless Steel Appliance

Cleaner

through GE Parts by calling 800.626.2002 (for U.S. only). In Canada, call 1.888.880.3030.

NOTE: Avoid streaks on stainless steel panels. Do not use wax on stainless steel panels.

Protect

Against

Freezing

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

3. Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve (use a pan to catch the water).

4. Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

The Air

Gap

An air gap protects your dishwasher against water

backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not

a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your

warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps,

so you may not have one.

A plugged or dirty air gap will prevent the

dishwasher from draining properly. Clean it out

if the dishwasher is not draining properly.

The air gap is easy to clean.

1. Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome

cover.

2. Unscrew or unsnap the plastic cap (depending

on model) and clean with a toothpick.

Interior

The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability

available in a GE dishwasher. If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented

during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function

or durability.

Check the air gap any time your

dishwasher isn’t draining well.
